Newborn? Now What! The Ultimate Guide on How to Dress Your Little Bundle of Joy

Welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood! Dressing your newborn might seem like a puzzling task with those tiny buttons and miniature socks, but fear not.

Here's your ultimate guide on how to dress your precious one in a way that's snug, stylish, and safe:

Keep it Simple, Silly (KISS):
In the early days, simplicity is key. Opt for uncomplicated outfits with easy access for diaper changes. Zipsuits make for a perfect starting point – they're comfy and hassle-free. Oh and did you know Tiny Twig's zipsuits have diagonal zips - no metal itchies for them neckless babies!

Layers, Layers, Layers:
Babies can't regulate their body temperature as well as adults, so layers are your best friends. Start with a zipsuit as a base layer and add a soft, breathable jacket or jumper if it's chilly.

Footwear Fancy:
While those teeny-tiny shoes are adorable, newborns don't really need them. Instead, focus on keeping those little tootsies warm with soft socks or booties. Remember, comfort over fashion! Oh and if you're someone who can't solve the problem of disappearing socks and mittens, we have designed our zipsuits with built-in foldable socks and mittens. Fold out if you need them, fold in if not. Smartwork >>> hardwork!

Button or Zip - The Great Dilemma:
Choose outfits with easy-to-use fastenings. Our super high quality diagonal zipsuits are designed to make life easier for those delicate maneuvers. Quick access through two way zippers is a blessing during diaper changes.

Beanie for Hello World:
Tiny heads lose heat quickly, so a beanie is not just a fashion statement – it's a necessity. Opt for soft, breathable fabrics to keep their little heads cozy.

Weather Warrior:
Adjust your newborn's clothing based on the weather. For hot days, lightweight cotton dresses or zipsuits are perfect. On cooler days, add layers and consider a cozy bunny rug for extra warmth.

Cute and Comfortable Sleepwear:
When it's time for slumber, choose sleepsuits that are easy to slip on and off. Ensure they're made from soft, breathable fabrics to keep your little one comfy all night. Check out our convertible sleep suits that convert into a gown for the night and into a onesie for daytime when the baby is active and kicking!

Size Matters:
Babies grow at a surprising rate, so don't go overboard with newborn-size clothing. Have a mix of newborn and 0-3 months sizes ready, and be prepared for a wardrobe upgrade sooner than you think.

Protect from the Sun:
If you're heading out into the sunshine, shield your newborn's delicate skin with a wide-brimmed hat and lightweight, long-sleeved clothing.

Diaper Duty Ready:
Dressing your newborn involves frequent encounters with diaper duty. Opt for outfits with two way zippers – they're a game-changer during those countless changes.

Remember, the most important thing is that your newborn is comfortable and safe. Enjoy the process of picking out those adorable outfits and savor every precious moment with your little one. Happy dressing! 👶👕🍼
